AT&T will look to “neutralize” CNN President Jeff Zucker after it buys Time Warner, The Post has learned.

The buzz from the telecommunications giant comes as CNN is being slammed for highly publicized missteps — including botched reports tied to the federal probe of possible collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia, according to three sources familiar with the thinking of AT&T brass.
The missteps, which also include a profane anti-Trump tweet by Reza Aslan, a CNN host, have made CNN too polarizing an asset for execs at the blue chip company, a source said.

Aslan saw his CNN show, “Believer,” get canceled in the wake of the tweet.

The $85 billion acquisition of CNN parent Time Warner by AT&T could win antitrust approval by the Justice Department in the next 60 days, sources said.

“There was early talk about the way Zucker managed that wasn’t a good fit for the new organization,” one source said. “They were eyeing ways to neutralize him.”

That desire leaves Zucker facing an uncertain future that includes the possibility of getting unceremoniously dumped, one source said.

Other potential scenarios include AT&T kicking the 52-year-old executive upstairs with a corporate title that strips him of any power over CNN — or a sale of the network that would let AT&T wash its hands of any future messes.

I'd like to give Zucker the credit he deserves.

For most of the Bush and Obama years MSNBC was the main network for the far left wing crazies. But ever since CNN hired Zucker CNN has supplanted MSNBC in that department and are now also competitive with them in the ratings.


They should keep him. If not somebody else will hire him.

He's such a failure

MSNBC news was making moves and Maddow was becoming a draw. MSNBC was positioning itself to be the liberal news network but with more moderate voices. Basically, what CNN used to be and pretends to be

It has been obvious since october. Sucker just let it happen and turned CNN into the ESPN embrace debate ultra liberal network and hires more activists and operatives than he does anchors and broadcasters

Because the ratings were through the roof

They didn't plan on a post election CNN. Ratings are up for them but so far behind the rest.

By january they were using cheap plots for ratings to stay ahead of MSNBC in the average even though they were consistently losing.

Now they're last and by a lot

I wouldn't hire Jeff Zucker to run a lemonade stand. Hiring Jeff Zucker you might as well say "Hey, would you like to come ruin our business to the point where it can never recover". He is this image personified.

And Trump was running for President. It's like saying that their ratings were high during the OJ case. Of course they were, everyone in America was tied to their screen.

CNN just did shite for the ratings and unlike Fox and MSNBC they showed all of his rallies live and unedited during the primaries. That's a big reason he got the nomination. He also rigged the debate against Bernie, gave him and Hillary hardly any press during that time, did a bunch of feminist and coming together pieces during that point to detract from Bernie, and propped up Trump as much as possible so Hillary would be against the worst candidate in American history. Then it blows up in Zucker's face, and I take great joy that it did.

I would give at least $300 to have the tape when Trump chews Jeff Zucker out to his face for 10 straight minutes after winning the election.

Jeff Zucker is the Lane Kiffen of TV executives.

Clinton, Trump, Obama, and Conway in that order.

Cut out Trump, because I'm just going for outsiders. Clinton, sure, Obama probably Top 10 but I'm confident he would have beaten Trump if he ran for a third term.

You're underestimating Stone who is without question the person who is the most responsible for Trump being in office (outside of Trump himself). Trump could have beaten other Democrats since I think his victory was more due to a complete and total repudiation of the Left, but he would have never run if it weren't for Roger Stone.

But Zucker provided the canvas for Trump to thrive under. He greenlit "the Apprentice". He furthered Donald's brand while at NBC to a ridiculous degree. He gave Trump 3 billion dollars in free advertising during the campaign, when really Trump should have been treated no differently than if Scott Baio had run for President. MSNBC and Fox (save for Hannity) tried to stifle Trump, but CNN went all in on him becoming the Republican candidate. If you had an executive with any journalistic integrity, then Trump would not have gotten the coverage that he did and likely not get the nomination.

I don't see an argument for how Zucker himself would not be in the Top 10 people most responsible for him being in the White House.
